Ultimate concert experience with virtuoso tubes performance
Anarchistic rock star instruction manual
The Blue Man Group is packing its bags and going on tour. While the original theatre production continues to wow people from all over the world the blue men are putting on the ultimate concert experience with their new, spectacular show. The Megastar World Tour, arrives at the O2 Arena on Sunday 15 February 2009.
The Blue Man Group will be presenting their perfect anarchistic instruction manual on gaining popularity in the modern world of music and beyond. Needless to say, the three seemingly emotionless, bald, glistening blue, mute men have taken with them all their self-crafted ensembles, together with Blue Man favourites such as whirlpool drumming, marshmallow throwing and paint spitting. In arenas, the multimedia show is in its element, with innovative components from surreal theatre, slapstick, video, lightshow and stimulating rock music. With its splendid malapropism of rock stars and their attitudes, the Blue Man Group Megastar World Tour has already captivated more than two million people in the USA.
The Blue Man Group’s energetic tour production, "How To Be A Megastar", lays emphasis on dynamics, rhythm and audience participation. The show is a shining response to modernity and the technological overkill of the internet era. The Blue Men, mimicking expert motionlessness, use their live stage as a playground for music and art – but seemingly forgoing all rules. The figures, wrapped in blue-coloured latex, spread amusement and curiosity with their virtuoso tube-playing act, without words but with eyes open wide. The main motivation of the performance lies in working with bizarre percussion instruments and obscure ensembles - with a maze of pipes, the tubes.
